That means {F1} = Help and {F5} = Copy, etc. You can tag/untag
multiple files by using the Insert key. When one or more files are
tagged, {F5} copies them as a group. + defaults to Tag all and
- defaults to untag all, but they do prompt, so you can specify a
pattern (e.g. *.c if you want to tag/untag all C source files in the
current directory).

Any app which looks inside the archive will have to unpack it, but it does so in /tmp rather than in your own working dirs, then displays the result in one of its panels. From there you can copy any of the contents to a dir of your choice, where it becomes a real dir/file you can manipulate at will. Krusader (needs some KDE) is probably the most powerful file manager around. I used it recently to look inside a Stage-3 tarball ( .tar.bz2 ): it took perhaps 1 min to display contents of the 120 MB archive. The manual is very good (with a few errors here there). -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hello Philip Webb, Is there a GUI app that can display the hierarchy in a large zip file maybe hundreds of directories, tens of thousands of files and a couple of gigs of zip - without actually unzipping the archive and using up both time and disk space. Any app which looks inside the archive will have to unpack it, but it does so in /tmp rather than in your own working dirs, There's absolutely no need to unpack a zip to list the contents, unzip -l will do this, which is how file managers also do it. If you want to access the contents of a single file, the file manager will extract only that file. Konqueror handles this totally transparently, allowing you to list the contents and copy or read individual files as if the zip (or tar) archive were a directory. -- Neil Bothwick NOTICE: -- THE ELEVATORS WILL BE OUT OF ORDER TODAY -- (The nearest working elevators are in the building across the street.) signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Extra points for a program that can extract just a portion of the zip file, like a single directory and its contents thus saving me disk space dealing with this. Thanks, Mark Midnight Commander can do that. hth, Robert -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
